Meet the Aussie mum of three heading to the Bricklayer World Championships

Sheree Canham is breaking the mold when it comes to bricklaying, having worked as a bricklayer for 14 years.

Now she’s taking on the best in the world.

The mother of three is the first woman to be invited to the Bricklayer World Championship in Las Vegas.

“I'm excited about it, but also a little bit nervous being the only girl over there and the first girl to be invited to it as well,” Sheree says.

She’s been perfecting her craft over the years and can now lay around 600 bricks an hour.

Sheree said she learnt bricklaying from her dad and brothers.

“During our school holidays we'd go and work with Dad and then I just kept working with him," she says.

"Then I finished school and he [Dad] said, 'Right, do you want to become an apprentice?' and I was like, 'I don't know'. It's a bit scary going to TAFE with all the boys, but I did and I loved it ever since."

She also met the love of her life bricklaying – her husband Greg.

“I asked if Sheree wanted some help on the job, labouring or whatever, and she was a little bit reluctant to start with,” says Greg.

The relationship was cemented when Greg became her apprentice, and after a couple of years the pair became more than business partners - they became husband and wife.

When Sheree and Greg aren’t running their sub-contracting business, Dolly Bird Bricks, they’re running around after their three little ones.

If you didn’t already think Sheree was tough, when she was pregnant she worked right up until a week before she gave birth - and then was back bricklaying within a month.
